no offense,but instead of worrying so much about new unknown tank trees...u might wanna pay more attention to ur security issues...since u are working with real life money,there will always be some kind of idiotic morron to screw things up for u,me and everyone else playing this game,which is wicked,hands down,by far...

So if i get gold through the official get gold site i am supposed to be ok?

Yes, as you've never used Playspan's site or used an account there.

So if you use the goldpage, to pay directly with credit card - on WoT-page, you are safe?

As above. This issue only affects players who have an account with Playspan.

You mean the 'Get Gold' from ingame or through the WoT portal or is the internal procedure the same in both cases? I only bought gold through the WoT site so I shouldnt worry?

If you just used our site. You never had to set up a username and password with playspan so you're unaffected. If you're unsure then i'd recommend changing your password.

And not a single fuck was given by WG community again. Same as not a single fuck was given when you submit ticket regarding inappropriate chat conduct... And this is rather serious (but now I dont give single fuck since there is no way of me using that PayCrap anymore), as in serious cat, issue... Payment processor got hacked. For gift shop ONLY payment processor... Way to go WG, Blizzard already on their way to acquire you

Not a what? I replied in this thread to say we're looking into it and then I reply 20 mins later with our response. Rage all you want at us, but the security breach is with a totally different company. We have done all the necessary checks at our end and rest assured your World of Tanks data is safe.

No offense taken. The security issues are not with Wargaming however. A partner payment site has been hacked. Your World of Tanks details have not been compromised.

If e-mail addresses have been copied during this hack, players may experience spam or phishing mails as a result. As always please DO NOT click on any links in any e-mail you may be sent, no matter how legit the e-mail may seem. This is especially true for e-mails that claim your account (be it World of Tanks or Playspan) is hacked and you need to reset a password or prove your identity.ALWAYS visit the site in question manually/directly. If you're ever unsure CONTACT SUPPORT. It's always best to be safe than sorry and support will be happy to confirm if a communication is legit or not.

ectart, you should know, you know .. community manager and stuff, that WoT RU has an account security layer via SMS
how does it work, simplified:
when "someone" want to change the the account password, a confirmation code is sent to you via SMS and the website requests that "someone" input that code to verify their legitimacy, and since that "someone" doesn't have access to your phone, he cannot change it

I've checked into this and it's planned also to be released in for the EU region. Sadly there is no release date but it's definitely coming. We'll make as many players aware of the feature as possible to encourage players to use it.

That is a very basic and already common way of secure. Gmail has it, Facebook has it, but why not here? Blizzard went even one lvl higher with an Authentificator that generates number codes.

what if we use paypal to pay for gold would our accounts still be compromised since the payment was listed under playspan? like when looking at previous gold payments its listed under as pay confirm playspan would our accounts be ok?

If you used our website your account should be fine.

The potential security risk is if you have visited Playspan's website and created an account there. I can't tell you if you've done that or not as we don't have a record of who has Playspan accounts because they're a separate company.

If you're unsure, then simply change your password for World of Tanks as a precaution. (making sure it's not the same as you use for something else or easily guessed - Like changing from password11 to password22)

k i did not make an account on playspan i used your site with paypal option and thanks for the heads up anyway glad to see you guys actually warn us i can think of few sites that don't warn people and people only found out through other people.

Why doesn't WG search a more secure and stable payment affiliate? There have already been problems with Playspan, it's not the 1st time such things happen with Playspan. I don't know this company but i read IT-News and wouldn't trust that company anymore.

To be honest, i feel not very well with that what happened even if i didn't make an account at Playspan. I payed via Paypal and the payment goes to WG via Playspan anyway, so the transaction data (maybe the community manager could tell which transaction data Playspan uses?) was probably on the hacked server. Crap.

Only found out today that my old method of Gifting people (iDeal) is basicly broken. The gift shops only method of pay (even if I select PayPall, which is still an option!) defaults to PlaySpan, and that has been compromised and down for about a week now.

1: Could you please get someone from Wargaming EU to inform EU about this? Wargaming USA has a statement on their site (http://worldoftanks....ecurity-breach/) I just read, and WG made statements to several game media IIRC. Yet nothing can easily be found on the EU Portal / Gift Shop / News or this kinda messy Forum. It's been a week... Suddenly changing the Gift Shop to only accept payments from a compromised company whose site is 'under maintenance' could make people feel 'iffy'. People (OK..... I) dislike change of easy handling to a new method / company I never heard of.
2: Any alternatives I can give you guys my money to get my brother some Gold over? If not, when willl it be possible again? Please WarGaming, take my money!
